Conservation of Energy in Waves
High school teacher Kate Nichols explains that wave energy is equal to the amplitude of a wave. Looks at different scenarios where we may notice that wave energy is being conserved or not. The conversion of wave energy into another type...

Bozeman Science: Physics: Wave Interference
Paul Andersen explains how waves interact with objects and other waves. When a wave hits a fixed object, it will be reflected and inverted. When a wave hits a free object, it will be reflected without being inverted. [6:24]

Bozeman Science: Traveling Waves
Paul Andersen explains how traveling waves move through space and time. The reflection and interference of traveling waves can create standing waves which appear motionless. Examples of traveling waves in one and two dimensions are...

Bozeman Science: Standing Waves
Paul Andersen explains how standing waves are created through the reflection and interference of traveling waves. Destructive interference creates areas of no movement called nodes. Constructive interference creates areas of maximum...

Bozeman Science: Light Absorption, Reflection & Transmission
In the following video Paul Andersen explains how light can be absorbed, reflected, or transmitted as it moves from one medium to another. The reflection of different wavelengths creates the perceived color of an object. Absorbed light...
